My best memory would be studying abroad and teaching in South Africa in my last year of school. My first class at Grand Valley was taught by Dr. John Kilbourne and he made it every student's mission to take advantage of the opportunity, so I did.

A favorite Grand Valley memory is meeting two friends, Jill and Brad, and having all of our 300 and 400-level classes together! It was so nice to go through all that with a core group of friends!
Rebecca Woronko '10
My first football game as a student was so much fun! The buzz and excitement in the student section was something to behold and it was empowering!

My favorite Grand Valley memories are being down on the sideline for Laker football games cheering the team on for many Grand Valley Victories. Watching football from anywhere but the sideline will never be the same!

I took my student teaching experience on campus in the summer so I didn't have to quit my full-time job.
Matea Caluk '09 & '11
I absolutely loved Kleiner late night. I lived in Kistler, and my friend group would spend hours in Kleiner studying, dancing, and joking around. This really shaped my sense of belonging at GVSU.

My favorite Grand Valley memory was being in all of the organizations that I was a member of made my time at Grand Valley.

My favorite Grand Valley memory has got to be every moment in the College of Education. I became so close with my cohort because we took every class together, worked on math proofs, and collaborated on teaching strategies together.

One of my most unique memories was my freshman year, Takeelia Garrett (who is still part of the GV team) took me to Dean Merkles house to bake Christmas cookies.
Brandi Berry '02 & '03
Since graduating from GVSU, I have spent 20 years working in local child welfare services. I have since moved on to the Health Department where I supervise two local public health programs.
